Dragon mentors, magical creatures, and a young girl looking for adventure: Harry Potter meets Eragon. "A remarkable dragon story for YA and teens. If you enjoy the Eragon book series by Christopher Paolini, you love this series!!" ★★★★★ When the dragon Jaax receives word that a human infant has been found in the province of Oescienne, he doesn't dare believe it. Humans have been extinct for centuries, trapped by a terrible curse and left to live out their existence in the form of dragons. Despite his doubts, however, Jaax assumes responsibility for the baby girl only to discover that what he has been seeking for so many years has finally been found. Jahrra knows all about the legends and sagas of Oescienne, but never in her wildest dreams would she believe that she played a part in one of them. She is far too busy dodging the bullies at school and seeking out new adventures with her friends to worry about what secrets her dragon mentor might be keeping from her, or that her every move is being watched by something living in the forest surrounding her home. But the secrets run deep, and as Jahrra fights to earn her place in this extraordinary world, she will begin to unravel the truth of it all: that she isn't as safe as she thought she was, that danger lurks around every corner, and that her role in this unfurling tale is far more significant than she could possibly imagine.

Robert Redford directed this adaptation of a novel by Steven Pressfield that uses golf as a metaphor for one man's spiritual and philosophical journeys. Rannulph Junuh (Matt Damon) was a gifted amateur golfer from Savannah, GA, until traumatic experiences during World War I shattered his confidence and sent him into a spiral of alcoholism. In 1931, Adele Invergordon (Charlize Theron), a beautiful heiress who once loved Junuh, inherits a spectacular but financially ailing golf course after the suicide of her father. To attract customers, she proposed a high-stakes match between the two most famous golfers of the day, Bobby Jones (Joel Gretsch) and Walter Hagen (Bruce McGill). Local businessmen sponsoring the match insist that a local golfer be added to the card, and Junuh is drafted for the position, but it soon becomes obvious that his game is just a shadow of its former glory. When things seem hopeless, a mysterious gentleman named Bagger Vance (Will Smith) volunteers to serve as Junuh's caddy and coach, using a mixture of ancient wisdom and past-life knowledge to help Junuh “remember" the swing he's lost. Jack Lemmon narrates the story, and J. Michael Moncrief plays Lemmon's character as a boy.

Arianna Grace liked her boring, Midwestern, teenage life where she ignored the many unanswered questions of her childhood. Why were her parents dead? Why did she not have family? Where was she raised until she was five? When someone offers to explain it all, Arianna thinks she’s just getting answers. Instead, she is thrown into a world of night humans who drink blood. On Arianna's sixteenth birthday, her world is thrown upside down when she changes into a vampire. Night humans, or demons, as some call them, live in normal society. Learning all of the new rules of a world she didn’t know existed might be hard enough, but it's further complicated by two former-friends that now want to help her take her role as the successor to her grandfather. There is a war going on between the night humans. Sides have been taken and lines are not crossed. Four main clans of night humans are struggling for control of the night. Divided into two sides, clans Baku and Tengu have been at war for centuries with the clans Dearg-dul and Lycan. That is, until Arianna Grace finds out the truth; she’s the bridge of peace between the two sides. But not everyone wants peace. With the night humans divided, Arianna is now a pawn in the war between them. She must choose a side—her mother’s family or her father’s—and for once in her life, decide her own fate. —- Early Reviews —- “The Legend of the Blue Eyes is overall a fantastic read with a new spin on the world of the Night Humans.

With little choice but to embrace this new life, Ms. McMichael keeps you interested in Arianna’s rise to glory and pursuit of adjustment and happiness. The story is far from done.” -Carmen@TheReadingCafe

It has been an incredible 24 hours since the infamous “Zola Story” made a tidal wave splash onto the Internet and the people are still trying to wrap their heads around it. Is it real? Was it made up? How is this stripper girl not in handcuffs for being an accessory to at least one crime?

While no one has the answers just yet, there has been a healthy restocking of memes thanks to the Zola Story and they are nothing short of hilarious.

If you have been snoozing, the Zola Story is still live on the Internet but we wouldn’t suggest you bank on it to stay up forever. Everyone from Ava DuVernay to Zola Jesus have chimed in and there’s even a fake Jess Twitter account getting traction. It was an instant classic.

Check out the memes down below and on the next few pages. The people are downright lowdown for likening Z to Ricky Rozay.

But Kludd's jealousy has terrible consequences-causing both owlets to fall from their treetop home and right into the talons of the Pure Ones. Now it is up to Soren to make a daring escape with the help of other brave young owls. Together they soar across the sea and through the mist to find the Great Tree, home of the legendary Guardians of Ga'Hoole-Soren's only hope of defeating the Pure Ones and saving the owl kingdoms.

N.O. Joe is a twenty-plus year veteran behind the boards in Hip-Hop and R&B, and has undoubtedly produced songs that have been played to the point of a cassette popping, a CD scratching, or earning a spot on a digital “favorites” playlist. His work with, among others, Scarface, UGK, Lil’ Wayne, Rick Ross, The Luniz, Ice Cube, Brian McKnight, Geto Boys, Jodeci, and D’Angelo have allowed him to develop rich soundscapes which don’t just transcend southern rap, but all of Hip-Hop. He even helped with the use of the Geto Boys’ music in the cult comedy Office Space, and was even nominated for an Emmy when Family Guy spoofed it and he did the same thing in the classic episode, “I Dream of Jesus.” His gumbo funk sound (“it’s a collage of different genres of music to create one great body of work”) has allowed him to be one of music’s best chameleons and artists and fans have been reaping the rewards of his talents for decades.

Joe “N.O. Joe” Johnson was born in New Orleans, Louisiana, but his triple threat capabilities of production, songwriting, and rapping took him to New York in the early stages of his career. When he returned home below the Mason Dixon line, he helped pioneer a sound that everyone from Dr. Dre to The Dungeon Family has drawn inspiration from. And with the recent releases of Scarface’s Deeply Rooted and Travis Scott’s Rodeo (two artists that are very different, but ones that Joe has worked with nonetheless), N.O. Joe took time out of his busy schedule to chop it up about his storied career and look back on a truly monumental catalogue of classic tunes and great connections.

When speaking with him, I quickly realized that he’s one of the humblest people around. He doesn’t want to kick knowledge to leave his contemporaries in the dust, but rather to provide guidance for the those ahead of him to continue to help push music forward.

In this installment of AllHipHop’s “Lessons From a Legend” series, N.O. Joe talks playing chess with music instead of checkers, letting every artist be themselves, and how he gave Hip-Hop some much needed soul.

The term “your favorite rapper’s favorite rapper” has been used to categorize a few elite emcees, and N.O. Joe is the production equivalent of it. Even though he might not be a household name, he is definitely one of “your favorite producer’s favorite producers.”

Here are some of the reasons why!

Lesson 1: Stay Ahead of the Curve

AllHipHop:As far as I’m concerned, you were the first producer to incorporate the church organ into Hip-Hop beats. How did the idea to that first come about?

N.O. Joe: Yes. The B3 organ to be exact. That instrument is so soulful, bro. When we were in church, just one thing would be playing and it’d be that organ. It filled up the church with emotions. So I wanted to take that same soulful organ and incorporate into Hip-Hop in some kind of way to make it gut-bucket soulful Hip-Hop. The first artist I tried it on was an artist in New York named Mic Professor then the Geto Boys on Til Death Do Us Part.

You were also one of the early pioneers of those who dabbled with live instrumentation in rap music.

Actually, on Til Death Do Us Part, there’s a live version in the Rap-A-Lot vault somewhere. We of course recorded the kind of sample version, but I wanted to take the next step. Let’s play this stuff live. It was voted out [laughs], and within the next year Dr. Dre came out and he had a lot of live playing on his. And that when the eyes opened like, “Wow.” We had a live album and didn’t put it out. I always like to move in advance; I like to stay ahead of the curve. As long as the artists give me my freedom, I can move everything to the next level. But I understand that it’s a lot of money on the line to experiment.

Do you think staying ahead of the curve has helped you change with the times? Some veteran artists just kind of stay in the era when they were at their peak. And even if it’s dope, it still sounds dated. But you’ve worked with Travis Scott too.

Absolutely! I’ve always stayed in tuned because I love what’s new and innovative sound wise. I like to take new sounds and implement them seamlessly into classic s**t. I would partially credit a group called The Classmates that I produced in 2010 which included Spuf Don and Travis Scott for us bridging the music together making it more youthful and that’s what Spuf Don and I are doing on Spuf’s new project as well. People slept on Spuf and Travis because it was ahead of it’s time and I’m glad Kanye and T.I.P saw what I saw. On the new Scarface Deeply Rooted, 22 year old Spuf Don co-produced three records. He’s been seeing me produce for Scarface for a minute and was a Scarface fan, so that’s why he was able to help keep the youthful part of it authentic. When producing different artists, I always like to get into the artist’s mind and with Travis Scott gaining the attention grabbing the number 3 spot on billboard and Scarface 20 years plus still at the top of billboard on his new release. It lets me know I was on to something, so be on the look out for Spuf Don coming up this month.

Lesson 2: Let Everyone Excel in Their Own Lanes

[With Deeply Rooted], I did 10 tracks and help formulate the album with Face. In theory we went back to the mind set of The Diary where he let me have a lot of creative control. I think that’s what made it easier for us he also brought a lot of great ideas to the table. I was able to execute some of those ideas he brought and take them to the next level. Everybody stayed in their own lane and I think that’s why the album came out the way that it did (classic). I actually played a lot of keyboards throughout the album and bass on “Anything” but my hat goes off to the real players who contributed to the record, those guys are professionals and spend years in their craft so I give them the utmost respect.

With that seven year gap since Emeritus, I wondered how this was gonna sound?

Some of the records he had in his head for a while, but most of them came just prior to the release.

Lesson 3: Have a Passion for the Music First and Foremost

I met Face in New Orleans. I was actually doing music for Face without even knowing him. A friend of mine hit me with Face’s solo record and it was just like this dude’s voice and the way he say stuff and how he said it. And his lyrics were dope as Hell. So I would start doing music catering to Scarface never knowing if I’d meet him. It just so happened I was going to a record store in New Orleans and I met up with Big Mellow, Rest in Peace, Face’s friend. I asked Mellow, “Hey, is that Scarface?” He said, “yeah.” I was like, “Man, can you come to the car real quick and listen to a couple things? If you don’t like them, you don’t even have to go back in and tell him about it.” I played him like 10 seconds of one of the records, and he said, “Wait!” He went in and got Face. I just kept playing him records. We went to my house and I played records for him. I was even pulling floppy discs all out of the closet and stuff. Then he was like, “Man, I want you to produce my album.”

What album did that eventually become?

The first album I was supposed to work on is The World is Yours, Scarface’s second solo album, but they wanted me to work on the Geto Boys album because that was the next thing up to bat. I was hired to do 4 or 5 songs on there, but of the 14 songs, I think I did 12. I don’t know how the credits got mixed up on it, but they put everyone who was involved with the record in the credits. And everyone was involved, but not everybody produced those records like that. That’s when, on the next record, if you’ll notice, you’ll see a “$ ” or whatever by my name just to distinguish who did what.

Lesson 4: Inspiration Knows No Bounds

Subliminally, this is pretty much how it’s broken down – I gave the south its soul. With the synths- that was kind of West Coast, the drums were kind of East Coast. The bottom end was southern. So when those things blended together perfectly, that’s why a lot of people like it. The music was from the south, but you couldn’t say that it was southern music. Even coming from down south where we wasn’t really up on the times, I had kind of an advantage because I started in New York and I was able to see a lot of things in New York that I could bring down south, but not have it have such a New York sound.

What did your experiences in New York teach you that you didn’t learn in the South?

The spirit, the love behind the music. I remember when I was out there and playing keyboards (with instruments programmed into it), and they’d say, “I like the music, but can you take some of that s**t out of there?” They taught me don’t put so much s**t in the track because where is he gonna rap? That’s when I started shortening up a lot of stuff. And I took a lot of stuff off the back end and gave it a great bassline. Keep it simple and that’s the song. They taught me that I didn’t have to use every instrument in my keyboard.

Lesson 5: There is No Right or Wrong, Just Different

What was it like working with the late, great Pimp C?

It was great working with him. I first came in with Pimp asking me to help Produce the Ridin’ Dirty album. It started by me producing four songs to us producing the entire album together. The way he would work… Pimp C would come in the studio and have a skeleton of a track and vocal and he would be like, “Man Joe, what do you think about this?” And if I liked it, I’d tell him it’s a great start, but I think we need this here and this this there or nah don’t like it you can come colder and he would do the same” Then he’d be like, “S**t, let’s work with it.” Like we’ll have one song, I’d play him another track. He’d go, “Oh, that’s dope” and have a hook right then and there. Then I’d tell him to go lay it. The beats playing, he’s writing his verse, and then Bun would come in, write his verse, and boom – we’re done with 2 or 3 songs. It’s crazy; the Ridin’ Dirty record was done in a few weeks.

The Odd Squad?

That was great. Blind Rob and I produced the Fadanuf for Erybody record along with Carlos. Hats off to Rob, man. He had a lot of those old samples and dug up some soul stuff. He work the ASR10 better than me and he was blind what an incredible talent he is. I didn’t smoke, but it was like I smoked because everyday in that studio those dudes smoked me out, they were great to work with! Devin is one of the funniest dude you’re gonna meet. Everybody was just so creative during that record. I had a great time working on it. I wish it would’ve got more attention.

What would you say is the one beat that best defines your sound?

I’ll tell you like this, one of the styles was whatever instrument, whether it was the guitar or a bass or a synth part, they never got in the way of each other. Everything has its own space and that’s my signature. Just take (Scarface’s) “Never Seen a Man Die.” That record didn’t have a hook in it, but that organ line. It was like somebody singing a hymn in church. And with the tone of Face’s voice, everything fit. That’s a good example. The way the beat rides; there was no long 808 kick drum in those records. I wanted you to hear the bass line, but I gave you enough bump in your trunk to rattle your license plate.

The Horseman is seen most often riding by the church, where local historians say he was buried. He is believed to be always in search of his head. Ichabod is fascinated by this story, being especially interested (and prone to believe) in tales of the supernatural.

Jimmy “Superfly” Snuka, an iconic professional wrestler and member of the WWE Hall of Fame, was charged with third-degree murder and involuntary manslaughter on Tuesday in the 1983 death of his then-girlfriend, Nancy Argentino.

Snuka, now 72, has told several versions of events over the years, including a claim that Argentino fell by the side of the road when they stopped to use the bathroom. However, the autopsy notes that other injuries on the body, such as “scalp, facial and bodily bruises and abrasions” are “not consistent with a single simple fall.”

The pathologist at the time recommended investigating the case as a homicide.

But Snuka was not charged.

The Morning Call report sparked renewed interest in the case, including the grand jury investigation that led to Tuesday’s charges.

Another of Argentino’s sisters, Lorraine Salome, said she didn’t believe this day would come.

“We thought they were giving us lip service. Even when they brought the grand jury, we didn’t have much hope,” Salome told The Morning Call. “We still thought they were giving us the runaround. But the grand jury really did its job and we’re grateful. The doors of justice were slammed in our face 30 years ago, but better late than never, we have a chance of getting justice.”

The charges against Snuka made front-page news in New York, where the former wrestler had some of his biggest moments in the ring at Madison Square Garden:

Snuka made his debut with the WWE, then known as the WWF, in 1982 and almost immediately shot to stardom with his signature move, the “Superfly Splash.” He would climb to the top turnbuckle, flash the “I love you” sign to the fans and leap onto his opponent for what was usually his finishing move.

In the face of a dizzying landscape of “stretch and stretch and stretch and stretch,” what does an old-school denim legend do? In the case of François Girbaud (of Marithé et François Girbaud fame), you find some new blood. That’s how the designer came to create a capsule of denim alongside Justin Kern and Stephanie Danan of the Los Angeles–based label Co. In a twist of serendipity, Girbaud had first met an adolescent Danan when he was a dinner guest at her parents’ home. (Danan’s father owned a showroom.) It was a passing acquaintance until nearly two decades later, when the denim maestro relocated to L.A.

After a reintroduction courtesy of Andrew Rosen, an investor in Co, things clicked. Girbaud was quick to embrace the label’s aesthetic, likening its sleekly sculptural qualities to the work of Cristóbal Balenciaga. Danan, Kern, and Girbaud set to work creating denim through the ultra-polished yet unfussy lens of Co—no 501-filled mood boards allowed. “[François] came in the first day and was like, ‘We’re not going to look at the past, I don’t want to see a stack of vintage jeans that you have as a reference,” says Kern. Or as Girbaud offers with his signature candor, “We are not going to the Rose Bowl and looking [at vintage] jeans like all these designers today.” The decision to use raw denim was one the team felt strongly about. Girbaud is not one to tread lightly when it comes to the topic of stretch denim’s myriad aesthetic offenses: “People think that is sexy—it’s terrible!” Its sheer ubiquity means that for many women, that fabrication becomes a de facto choice. If raw denim has lately enjoyed a surge of popularity with menswear types, that has not necessarily been the case in women’s markets, where the untreated stuff has maintained a reputation as stiff and arduous to break in. Co’s deep indigo pairs, like a front-seamed bootcut for Fall, are just crisp enough to fall firmly in line with the brand’s inherently dressy qualities. The trio all praise the material’s inherent shaping qualities, but you won’t need to take these for a spin in the bathtub to soften them up. “The entire front is constructed like a real trouser, with satin inside and grosgrain ribbon,” Danan says. “Approach it like a garment and get rid of all your preconceived notions of what a jean should look like and feel like.” Sound advice for denimheads everywhere.

LEGEND “Z” features BABYMETAL’s rare and complete performance on February 1, 2013 at Zepp Tokyo from the legendary live series titled “LEGEND I, D, Z” drawing audiences totaling 7,000 people from their performances on the opening day in October 2012 at Shibuya O-East, SU-METAL’s Birthday Celebration in December 2012 at Akasaka BLITZ, and the final one in February 2013 at Zepp Tokyo.

Wrestling legend “Rowdy” Roddy Piper has died at the age of 61 … TMZ Sports has learned.
Piper — born Roderick George Toombs — died from cardiac arrest in his sleep at his home in Hollywood on Thursday night. He was discovered on Friday.

Piper was a wrestling icon — one of the biggest stars in the WWE back in the ’80s, and even wrestled in “Wrestlemania I” back in 1985 … squaring off against Hulk Hogan and Mr. T.
Roddy’s rep tells us, “I am devastated at this news. Rod was a good friend as well as a client and one of the most generous, sincere and authentic people I have ever known. This is a true loss to us all.”

Piper had been diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma in 2006, but last November he said he was cancer free. A family source tells us he was “cancer free” at the time of his death.
A family member tells us, “Our family is saddened by the sudden passing of our father and beloved husband, Roderick Toombs aka Rowdy Roddy Piper.”

Roddy was admitted into the WWE Hall of Fame back in 2005 and was one of the top 50 villains in the history of the WWE.

Piper had a long relationship with WWE — last wrestling back in 2008 … but appeared on various WWE shows up until 2014.

Roddy is survived by his wife Kitty and their 4 kids — including 3 daughters and son Colton who’s pursuing a career in professional wrestling.

Did the WWE legend “The Undertaker” sue Meek Mill for 500k for using his wrestling theme song in his Drake Diss “Wanna Know”? There are reports, but I cannot seem to get a fully factual report. Here is what one site is saying:

WWE Legend, The Undertaker, has reportedly filed a $ 500,000 lawsuit against rapper Meek Mill for illegally sampling his famous entrance music. The song ‘Wanna Know’ is a diss track aimed at Drake who over the last couple of days has been caught up in a controversy with Meek Mill. The track has since been getting negative views since it was released, and not everyone seemed to have liked the diss track, especially legendary wrestler, The Undertaker. ‘I don’t know if he didn’t think I was going hear it, but I did’ said The Undertaker whose real name is Mark Calaway. ‘I wouldn’t have filed a lawsuit if the track was actually good. But since he included my theme in a f**king garbage track, I’m angry. My plain theme song was a better diss itself than Meek Mill’s.’ he said….

Gibson worked alongside Walt Disney during the development of Disneyland, and his sculptures were used to create the faces on characters in rides such as “Pirates of the Caribbean” and “Haunted Mansion” as well as the “Enchanted Tiki Room” show.

Although an animator, Gibson’s hobby was sculpture. Walt Disney saw one of Gibson’s art exhibitions and in 1954 asked him to work on Disneyland, a year before the theme park would open.

Gibson initially wasn’t crazy about leaving animation to work in theme parks.

“I didn’t think it was that important, but then I was told Walt was expecting me to work on these projects,” he said, according to the company. “So I said to myself, ‘what the heck’ and went (to Walt Disney Imagineering). I was never sorry after that.”

Along with working on Disneyland, Gibson did sculpture work for some of the Disney exhibits at the 1964 World’s Fair, including a sculpture of Abraham Lincoln used to produce the audio-animatronic featured in “Great Moments With Mr. Lincoln.”

This is an alternate theatrical version of the film with a controversial ending! Somehow immune to an unstoppable, incurable virus, military virologist Robert Neville (Smith) is now the last human survivor in New York City and maybe the world. But he is not alone. Mutant victims of the plague lurk in the shadows… watching Neville's every move… waiting for him to make a fatal mistake. Perhaps mankind's last, best hope, Neville is driven by only one remaining mission: to find an antidote using his own immune blood. But he knows he is outnumbered… and quickly running out of time.

Halloween finally arrived and it was Mary&apos;s sixteenth birthday. Mary&apos;s parent&apos;s finally decided she was old enough to have a sleep over at their house. But she was only allowed to have two of her best friends spend the night after the party. Mary called Kathy and Kim to see if they would stay and have a sleep over at her house. Kathy and Kim both agreed and said that they would have a great time together being that they were all best of friends. Mary hung up the phone and said &quot;This is the best day of my life. I&apos;m going to turn sixteen today and I finally get to date boys.&quot;

Legend, from director Ridley Scott (Blade Runner, Gladiator), is a visually stunning fantasy-adventure in which pure good and evil battle to the death amidst spectacular surroundings. Set in a timeless mythical forest inhabited by fairies, goblins, unicorns and mortals, this fantastic story stars Tom Cruise as a mystical forest dweller, chosen by fate, to undertake a heroic quest. He must save the beautiful Princess Lily (Mia Sara) and defeat the demonic Lord of Darkness (Tim Curry), or the world will be plunged into a never-ending ice age.

LEGEND “D” features BABYMETAL’s rare and complete performance of SU-METAL Birthday Celebration on December 20, 2012 at Akasaka BLITZ from the legendary live series titled “LEGEND I, D, Z” drawing audiences totaling 7,000 people from their performances on the opening day in October 2012 at Shibuya O-East, SU-METAL’s Birthday Celebration in December 2012 at Akasaka BLITZ, and the final one in February 2013 at Zepp Tokyo.

"The wait is over, America — Ron Burgundy is back and “funnier than ever,""* in an ALL-NEW UNRATED CUT, too outrageous for theaters! After losing his job to his wife and co-anchor, Ron reassembles the news team and squares off against a new rival. Will the world's greatest anchorman be crushed beneath the weight of his own ego (and his salon-quality hair)? Anything goes in the outrageous comedy that critics are calling “one of the funniest movies of the year!”

Now with even more potty mouth! The unrated version not shown in theaters! Will Ferrell is Ron Burgundy, a top-rated 1970’s San Diego anchorman who believes women have a place in the newsroom–as long as they stick to covering fashion shows or late-breaking cooking stories. So when Ron is told he’ll be working with a bright young newswoman (Christina Applegate) who’s beautiful, ambitious and smart enough to be more than eye candy, it’s not just a clash of two TV people with really great hair–it’s war! Filled with wicked wit and slapstick humor, Anchorman is a wildly irreverent, must-see comedy hit!

Comedy legend Carl Reiner knows a thing or two about late night: he’s the only man on the planet to have appeared on every incarnation of the “Tonight Show,” from Steve Allen to Jimmy Fallon.

And with all the changes going on in late night TV, Reiner is very optimistic. While he calls Fallon an “amazing talent,” Reiner especially likes the newest name in late night, James Corden, host of the “Late Late Show” on CBS.

“He’s unbelievable,” said Reiner. “He sings, he dances… he is very graceful and he sings beautifully.”

Jimmy Fallon’s “Wheel of Impressions” is the perfect trendbait. After Christina Aguilera broke the Internet with her on-point impressions of Britney Spears and Shakira, Jamie Foxx has followed suit with a few comedic imitations of his own.

After making fun of Rolling Stones’ frontman Mick Jagger singing “Hakuna Matata,” the comedy genius of Foxx summoned greatness when it was time to perform as John Legend singing the Toys ‘R Us theme song from all those commercials.

Foxx went over and beyond the :30 second bit and even imitated the R&B star’s facial expressions and mannerisms. Doc Rivers also got some extended face time as well.

Blues legend B.B. King, whose crisp, powerful guitar licks made him among the instrument's greatest masters and a towering influence for generations of musicians, has died at 89. King until late last year, when his health declined, maintained a touring schedule that put much younger artists to shame. "The blues has lost its king, and America has lost a legend," said President Barack Obama, who recalled once being persuaded to sing "Sweet Home Chicago" at the White House with King. "There are not many left that play it in the pure way that B.B. did," said rock-blues guitarist Eric Clapton, who thanked King in a short video that was receiving nearly one million views an hour on Facebook.

He is unlikely to be named a Middle East peace negotiator, but DJ superstar Paul van Dyk says that his music in a way has succeeded where politics has failed. "The Politics of Dancing 3," the German DJ's latest album which was released Monday, brings together artists from around the Middle East in a sign of how electronic music has increasingly become global. Van Dyk — often considered a pioneer of trance music, although he dislikes the categorization — brought both established and emerging DJs into the studio for the album, which is driven by fast-paced driving beats and catchy, accelerating melodies. "The collaborations I did, they very clearly show how uniting music is," van Dyk told AFP in New York, where ahead of the album's release he played a six-hour set at a Brooklyn warehouse.

“The Gods of Rock wouldn’t let it rain on The Who,” shouted a voice in the crowd fleeing an afternoon storm at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival. And They didn’t – the sun broke through by late afternoon and The Who had the chance to sing Talkin Bout My Generation to their generation.

“Hope I die before I get old,” a tie-dye wearing fan sang along at the far edge of the festival field. He looked like a sprightly 70, age being a state of mind. Roger Daltrey’s origin story about Pictures of Lily about a pinup who “apparently fucked the king…” kicked off the Rockers Working Blue part of the day, but the kids building muddy castles along the edge of the racetrack took no notice and the band shredded through enough greatest hits in fine form to satisfy any purist.

John Legend

Across the track, John Legend had words of inspiration for anyone in middle management with rock star aspirations. “It’s so good to be in New Orleans, Louisiana – my dream was to be exactly where I am right now,” he told a rapt crowd. “But my detour was as a management consultant. Powerpoint. Excel Spreadsheets, very sexy… ” Thankfully Legend made it out of the board room to sing about the bedroom in a steamy set closing out Congo Square.

Ryan Adams

Alt rocker Ryan Adams closed out the Gentilly Stage with a set including prop amps almost big enough to block out the sun. From his time recording in New Orleans, a tradition hailing to Wings and further back, he played “This House is Not For Sale.”

Cassandra Wilson

Jazz powerhouse Cassandra Wilson sang “Pennies from Heaven” as an homage to the rainy afternoon, but her set focused on “‘Coming Forth by Day,” an album Wilson describes as “an homage dedicated to the beauty, power and genius of Billie Holiday.” More specifically, she says the album is: “A collection of musical spells, prescriptions for navigating the dubious myths surrounding her life and times. This record is a vehicle for the re-emergence of Billie’s songbook in the 21st Century.”

Little Maker

The Lagniappe Stage was a choice spot to ride out the turbulent weather morning. Pedal Steel phenomenon Richard Comeaux and his River Rats brought a smooth version of Layla to its knees. And Little Maker brought its own rollicking version of Tusk to the stage to make up for Fleetwood Mac not playing it the last time they came to the festival. So now Tusk has been played at Jazz Fest.

Todd Duke, Phil DeGruy & John Rankin

New Orleans guitar hero John Rankin explained part of what lures fest-goers year after year. “When you come back next year, it’s going to be the same. Not the rest of the world, just New Orleans. We have the same Mardi Gras music on the radio that was on when I was a kid. That’s weird.” With that, he and Washboard Chaz launched into a mambo with the lines: “Nothin seems to change. If you don’t understand I can’t explain.” Whether it was because classic rockers would be holding court later that day or just synchronicity, Rankin played “Something in the Way She Moves” with Phil DeGruy on his guitharp and Todd Duke rounding out the trio. And then the rain came pouring down.

While John Legend found Kanye West’s near interruption of Beck’s Album of the Year speech “funny,” the 36-year-old singer was not as amused by West’s comments following the Grammys broadcast.

“When I said that was funny and people should lighten up about it, that’s what I meant,” Legend wrote on Instagram. “I wasn’t referring to Kanye’s comments after the show which I have now seen and heard. I disagree with those comments.”

Speaking to E! after the Grammys broadcast, West said Beck “needs to respect artistry” and “should have given his award to Beyoncé.” The rapper also criticized Grammys voters for “diminishing art, and not respecting the craft, and smacking people in the face after they deliver monumental feats of music.”

“Beck is indeed a true artist’s artist. He’s a multi-instrumentalist, a creative and unique singer-songwriter whose music I have bought and enjoyed over the years,” Legend wrote on Tuesday. “While his win may have been a surprise to many, it’s not because he’s not a great artist deserving of recognition. All of the other nominated artists, including Beyoncé, are incredible in their own right, and arguments could be made for any of them deserving to win. This is not an objective process. It’s completely subjective, in fact. We can all debate who we thought should have won. But even if you didn’t vote for him, plenty of our colleagues in the music business did. These voters are all creators who love music and have dedicated their lives to it, and the plurality of them chose Beck as the Album of the Year. I respect their decision and congratulate Beck on this outstanding accomplishment.”

In addition to clarifying his comments to Us Weekly, Legend also used his social media presence to explain a photograph posted by West’s wife, Kim Kardashian, immediately following Sunday’s Grammys. In the pic, which Kardashian captioned, “This is the Beck won that award face?!?!?!” Legend looks surprised.

Congrats to all winners, including @beck. Much respect. That selfie was taken before Album of the Year was announced.
